Legislative Priorities Submission: Safe Streets to School on Brown Road
Submitted by: Hopkins County Fiscal Court
James Madison Middle School is located on Brown Road in Madisonville, Kentucky. Brown Road is a highly travelled road and is not equipped with sidewalks and can be unsafe for walking. There are several students that walk to this school or to Jesse Stuart Elementary School which can be accessed by the cutoff road by James Madison Middle School.   Sidewalks provide places for children to walk, run and used by young bicyclists.  The placing of sidewalks on Brown Road will help benefit our school children in this area along with providing a safe route for the children to travel to and from schools.
